Tabernas Village and Desert

Highlight • Settlement

Tabernas is a town in the Los Filabres - Tabernas region, in the province of Almería. It is located next to the Tabernas Desert Natural Park, a unique desert area in Europe.

This area has great scenic and geological value, and boasts its own unique flora and fauna. It is precisely these landscapes that made this area an important open-air film set where numerous Westerns and other films simulating African and Arabian locations were filmed.

Tabernas already had an Almohad castle in the 10th century, given its location on the communication route between Almería and the eastern Iberian Peninsula. After the expulsion of the Moors, the castle was almost in ruins and was rebuilt by Emperor Charles V.

Near Tabernas lies the last piece of (semi) desert in Europe. A bone-dry area of 280 km² where the sun shines all year round and the least rain falls in all of Europe! Only a few days (approx. 3-4) per year heavy rain showers. Temperatures here vary from -5 ° C to 48 ° C. This has resulted in a spectacular landscape. Numerous spaghetti Westerns have been filmed here in this beautiful landscape. filmed.

High on a hill with beautiful distant views lie the remains of a once mighty castle. At the moment the ruins are still not easy to reach but you will no longer be fired upon as you climb the hill in the hot Spanish sun ;-) Entrance is free.
